had $9,s75, ,000, 600 mora OF wealth than her
free trade rival had in 1882. Do such facts
show that protection has hampered the de-
velopment OF industry In this country
Mr.. Mulhall, the most reliable OF Eng
lish statisticians, fails TO give the full value
Of all Of Great Britain's manufactures, but
In 1889 we find that they amounted TO $i,-
100000, 600, while in the United States In
1850 the product Of the manufactures was
valued at s., 100000, 900.
A comparison OF the cotton and wool
production of the two countries can be
easily made, ana the results are startling.
The value OF the cotton and wooden pro-
ducts OF Great Britain in 1860 was $780,
100000, against sos, 200 900 in 1881. The
value Of the same products In the United
States In 1860 was SlS5, 5,o0O,OO against
s5is, 100000 in 1880. In other words,
Great Britaln's gains 10 these products has
been 81 per cent, while that Of the Unitei
States was 295 per cent. In 1860 the value
Of oil manufactures In this country was
Sl,0I0,0 900, coo, and in 1880, 81, 500, 200, 900
the largest OF any country in the world.
1t may be here added that this marvellous
increase was TO supply the demands OF our
own country.
The free traders say that manufacturing
has been stimulated by protection to the
injury OF all other interests To refute this
1t is only necessary to give the figures from
the census of the two periods named. The
value of farms, cattle, crops, aud imple-
ments in the United States was S0,2l0,-
100000 in 1860, and l5,l60, 100000 in 1880,
The value Of the crops in the United Statea
In 1850 was s0l5, 100000, aud S2,OI5, 10000
in 1850.
In free'trade England from 1870 to 1881
the number Of acres under tillage decreased
from "a, ,075, GOO to 22,S7s, ,O00-a falling OIL
Uf 1,l9T, COO acres iu eleven years.
These facts prove that the protective
policy which has built up the manufdctur-
ing interests of the country has also caused
the agricultural interests to thrive, and that
worse thing than surplus would be the
adoption OF the rulnous freetrade policy
advocated by President Cleveland aud hls
advisers In the Democratic party.

There Are Worse Things Than Snr.
plus,

plus.
The New York Sun, In an editorial on
"Wby the internal revenue should be
touched first" says:
There is nothing immutable, inevitable in
the surplus; even with the taxes as they are.
In one year from to day, in six months per-
haps in three months new condition OF al.
fairs may arise which will require every dol
lar OF the revenue that now goes into the treas
ury, and more, too.
No tariff statesmanship Is worthy of respect
If, in dealing with the fact OF a surplus, 1t falls
likewise to take into consideration the posi-
biliiy OF q deficiency in the near future.
The internal revenue tax Is properly the
emergency tax. 1t Is always odious, but 1t can
be taken off and restored again with far less
disturbance to the business interests of the
country than must result from equivalent
changes in the customs tariff. Leave
this tax untouched, and make the reduction
solely in the customs duties, and then what
happens in the event Of q changed condition of
affairs, demanding more revenue than the new
schedules produce?
The margin of safety Is no longer available,
IL has been used, II is no longer there. =
The additional revenue must be raised by in.
ternal taxatioA-not by internal taxation In It's
hol and tobacco, tor they are already taxed,
but by levying new taxes upon other products
OF home manufacture, perhaps directly upon
the earnings and savings of the citizens
The short.sighted policy of surplus reduction.
which let's the internal revenue tax stand In
order TO get a hack at the customs duties in the
interest Of free trade, shapes It's way straight
toward the income tax, that most hatofdl and
oppressive OF all imposts.
The surplus is q bad thing, bu. there are
worse things than surplus.
The Sun is right. There are worse thing
than u surplus. The Republican party
when 1t came into power found an empty
treasury and the country without credit.
These are worse than q surplus and were
the result Of Democratic Ananclering. The
same result would follow a few years OF
Democratic rule now, Of which fortunately
there is no danger.
The Republicans, with an appreciation OF
the needs OF the country and OF how to
make II great. rich, and prosperous, enacted
laws by which an ample revenue was col
leeted. Under their rule 1t became so rich
and prosperous that the income exceeded
the greatest needs, and the Democrats do
not seem 10 possess ability enough to re-
duce the income without running the coun;
try.
But the Republican party did more than
TO provide an ample income for the gov
erDment, making 1t the richest In the
world and with the best credit. 1t made
the people lich.
In 1860 the valuation OF property in the
United States was less than that OF Great
Britain by $s,47s,0 100000. In that period
this country has been embarrassed In Its
progress by agreat war, and yet at the end
of twenty years 1t has overtaken and
passed Great Britain in the race, and in 1880

CAPT. BUNCE INDoRsED.
The Atlanta Must Go on a Lengthy
.f.r s.r Trip,

Trip,
The report Of Capt. Bunce, OF the United
States navy. on the Atlanta, was made
public yesterday. Secretary Whitney In
dorses the report, as follows:
The department deems that the Atlanta
should have some continuous service before
changes are made. The suggestions Of Capt.
Bunce are valuable, and made In the line OF
his duty and entirely proper, doubtless
without any expectation that commeis3n
upon the ship would be treated as anythil
else than professional discussion for NJ
benefit Of the department in the future.
Many Of the criticisms have been dis
cussed heretofore, and some Of her known
defects were Intentionally overlooked by
her designers for the purpose Of securing
benefits in other directions. Aside from the
lack of speed (which, considering the
efforts made In other countries, was In my
judgment faulty, she represents type
with merits and defects, and the balance
can, be struck after sne has had service.
/, None OF her alleged defects have been re-
produced in subsequent vessels now In
course Of construction. The type OF the
Charleston is In. some respect the Same, but

hered to. The free board of the Charleston

A Formal Demand for 100000 Acres

Acting Secretary Muldrow yesterday rem
dered decision on the petition OF Il. R.
elise and others, asking that the Attorney
General be requested to institute suit to
set aside patents issued to the Union Pacific
Railway Company for about 100000 acres
contiguous to Denver, Col. The land In!
question lies within quadrant formed by
the Kansas Pacific railway extended west
from Denver and the Cheyenne branch OF
the Union Pacific extended south from
Denver. The petition declares that the

OF Course We VIII Organize.

One Of the organs Of Democracy, a..
tempting to break the terrible force with
which the exposure Of the methods for
suppression of the vote in Georgia has
struck the people Of the couatry, says;
II the statistics of the southern congressionL II
elections that are now being presented In Re-
publican papers prove anything like suppress
sion OF votes, they prove that, in some dis
tricts, the wicked Democrats in charge of the
polling places and ballot boxes act 1ally
cheated thousands of their own political
brethren out Of a chance TO vote. This l.
somewhat awful, bat we can see only one pos
sible remedy. Let the Republicans organize,
put up candidates, rally their men, and thus
iniuse interest into the proceedings sufficient
to call out a full vote. Aud then they will
learn that their brother In black is getting
into habit OF thinking for himself and voting
with his friends.
This effort to meet the impression created
by the simple statement of facts as to the
vote in Georgia is 40 exceedingly weak and,
we might say, puerile attempt. The Demo-
Gratis have not suppressed their own votes,
but when they know that their conduct
and their acts have prevented Republicans
from voting or from daring to attempt to
vote, 1t becomes unnecessary for them to call
out their forces to the ballot boxes.
AS for Republican organizations, It is a
known fact that no such are permitted, and
II is that fact which is arousing the people
of the United States to the Infamous
wrongs being committed upon the franchise
by these southern Democrats.
We can inform our contemporary that
the Republicans will organize in these states
where the ballot has been suppressed by
fraud and violence; they will present can
didates; they will rally their men; they will
infuse interest into the campaign, and when
this is done they will sweep away these
fraudulent Democratic majorities as the
cyclone sweeps away straw 10 its path.

may be, a select partisan route in re-
ligien but we don't believe so and
neither the Bible nor the christian
creed teaches it. According to his
own story. after fifteen years of ex-
perience as drunkard, God with His
sustaining power, lifted him up all
out of the depths ofhis thralldom and
invested him with such resistance to
his besetting temptation as to enable
him to continue a sober man for two
and half years. He can direct his
hearers to the same source of relief,
but when he abuses every avenue
and every element of human pro-
gress and sympathy and juggles
with every passing nightmare that
does not please his personal fancy or
suit his individual taste and deals
out the lie and the furies of hell to
every listener who does not agree
with him even upon temporal affairs,
he borders closely upon ingratitude
to the Divine Being who freed him
from his years of captivity. Mr..
Smalls field for usefulness is large,
grand and commendabie. He should
hew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may, but if it be true as
he says that the political parties are
and should go to the devil, he might
find it advisable to forsake his parti-
san mania as matter Of escape
from Satan or at least to the extent
of recognizing that the lecture plat
form in church work is not the place
for political stump speech.

DON'T

Don't go to the boss and ask him
how he wants piece of work done !;
60 and do it your own way i'll as
short time as it can be well done
Don't 90 around the shop making
comments on this or that mans
work Somebody might do the
same by you, and you wouldn't like
it.
Don't play practical jokes on any
one; practical joker is public nui-
sance and man who has no friends.
There are q good many ways of
spending time than studying out sill
ly surprises for persons who are not
on the lookout for them.
Don't expect to be promoted be-
cause you wear good clothes and
look "genteel," whatever that may
mean. The man who is promoted is
the sober, steady, industrious, earn
est man, who has purpose in view
and keeps working steadily toward
it.
Don't start political discussions in
the shop and wrangle with dissenters
as to the virtues of this or that can
didate. If you think Smith is the
best man others may think Ives is,
and they are just as much entitled
to their views as you are to yours.
Don't plume yourself on being the
best workman in the shop. There
may be difference of opinion on
that point also. The best workman
does not have to advertise his abili-
ty; his comrades know who he is
much better than the individual
himself does, sometimes.
Don't be envious of the success
Of others. Give everyone his due
speak fairly to all, and help every
man who needs help when ever you
can, even at some cost to yourself.
This is capital of good will and
good feeling which is well invested,
and will give excellent interest after
many DAYS.
